Scrumptious Soap Giveaway....

As you know I have been crazy about making soaps this last while.....I am giving away a piece of my Banana & Pear Delight homemade soap & one of my Strawberry & Vanilla Dream soaps (see pictures below)...to a lucky winner.       Just leave a comment below in the comments section to be included in the draw!!   Both are made of goats milk soap base which provides rich moisturizing properties with no harmful ingredients and is ideal for sensitive skin. Both aren't tested on animals either and contains no animal oils.  So, good luck!!

I am getting addicted to making these!


Looks almost good enough to eat & smells heavenly too!

Et, voila!

Strawberry and vanilla cream loaf soap!

I treated myself to some more soap making supplies over the weekend and here's what I made using a silicone loaf mold with the same principle as the previous recipe!

 I inserted some soap cubes/embeds onto the bottom of the mold before pouring the first layer of soap base into it.  After waiting for the first layer (vanilla cream) to cool slightly, I added a second layer (strawberry).
I left this to cool down overnight and removed the mold.


 Here comes my favourite bit - the slicing!


 I used clear cellophane to wrap the soaps and make them attractive and finished off with some labels.


 There you have it - some great stocking fillers for Christmas!!
